  • Coffee and pizza provided; sports on site; shuttle bus to Nevis Range
Heading for the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in the Highlands? Then you’ll be pleased to hear about Glen Spean Camping, a pop-up site running over the duration of the competition. Set just above the official championships car park, less than five minutes’ drive east of Spean Bridge, the family-friendly campsite might be simple – facilities include a toilet block, showers, water access and sinks – but the views to the Gray Corries and Aonach Mòr in the Nevis Range are spectacular. Shuttle buses to take you up to all the action in the Nevis Range Mountain Resort (10 minutes’ drive) will be running a couple of minutes’ stroll away from the camping field. After a day watching bikers charge down technically challenging and crazily steep mountain trails, back at the site you can get together with friends old and new to throw axes, shoot arrows and ride Segways across rugged fields from the neighbouring Wild Highland Outdoor Centre. Food is all taken care of too, with the Hebridean Larder serving up coffee and breakfast in the mornings, and woodfired pizzas from a food truck in the evening. Beer and soft drinks will be available from the Glen Spean Brewing Company, right by the camping field.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Easy to park and find a pitch, served a purpose of somewhere to sleep close to the shuttle bus to the mountain bike world championships. Access to real toilets not just portaloos was a bonus.

Disliked: Some people don’t respect others , one female was very loud until 1am. More annoying than the hungry mosquitoes.

Liked: Wide open space with great views on to the Nevis range.

Disliked: A lot of the site is quite hilly meaning it can be difficult to find a flat spot to pitch up on.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great basic site, with a stunning view of the Mamores. Excellent friendly hosts running the site, with beer and fresh pizza a 5 minute walk away.

Disliked: A couple more toilets in the bottom field would have been good
